Brief Title: Positron Emission Tomography Using Carbon-11 Acetate and Fludeoxyglucose F 18 in Detecting Hepatocellular Carcinoma (Liver Cancer) in Patients With Known or Suspected Liver Cancer
Official Title: Detection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Positron Emission Tomography With C-Acetate-11 and F-fluorodeoxyglucose-18
Study ID: NCT00081094
Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Imaging procedures, such as carbon-11 acetate positron emission tomography (PET) and fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET, may improve the ability to detect hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) and allow doctors to plan the most effective treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well carbon-11 acetate PET and fludeoxyglucose F 18 PET work in detecting cancer in patients with liver cancer.
